Paris, 1780-1786. 23 vols. 8vo.--The last five volumes contain voyages and
travels not given by Prevot. This work also has been continued by Comeyras
in 1798-1801, in 9 vols. 8vo.
30. Abrege de l'Histoire Generale des Voyages. Par La Harpe. 2 vols. 12mo.
Paris, 1820.--This abridgment is executed with considerable judgment; it is
necessarily confined to the most novel and curious parts of the narratives
and descriptions.
31. Annales des Voyages. Par Malte Brun. 25 vols. 8vo. Paris, 1814-1817.
32. Nouvelles Annales des Voyages. Par Malte Brun et Eyries.--Twelve
volumes are already published: four volumes are published annually. Perhaps
the very high character of Malte Brun would lead us to expect a more severe
and judicious selection than some parts of this work exhibit; but, on the
whole, it is valuable.
33. Journal des Voyages, Decouvertes et Navigations Modernes, ou Archives
Geographiques du 19me Siecle.--This work began in Nov. 1818, and is
published monthly. Like all collections of this kind, the value of it would
have been encreased, and the bulk much diminished, if the selection had
been more scrupulous.
34. Delle Navigationi e Viaggi raccolti da M.G.B. Ramusio. Venet.--The most
complete and accurate edition of this book consists of vol. 1. of the
edition of 1588; vol. 2. of 1583; the third of 1565; and the Supplement of
1606.
